    Sanctioned for a Year?

    Parents caught stealing Tesco's out-of-date food from bins wins judge's sympathy | Daily Mail Online


    She claims her benefits were stopped after she missed an appointment because a letter reminding her of the date was lost in the post.


    'I didn't receive it so they stopped my benefits for a year,' she said. 'That runs out in the end of December.
    seriously?

    Not good. Some of the other major supermarkets donate such food to - in effect - soup kitchens, who can cook it the same day rather than pass it on and risk out of date food causing problems. Tesco is notable for not doing this, it seems more and more places do.

      I may think many bad things of Tesco but their support for Foodbanks etc is very good.

          Foodbanks are very different, they only accept non-perishable items.

          If Tesco do now give fresh produce away then great, it's about time.

            Doesnt it say she left work due to illness then had two more kids afterwards? Really winds me up. If you can't afford it dont have kids.

            I couldnt afford kids when I was younger so waited until we were older.

            Got a nephew whos a real scrote. Got a flat with his girlfriend - both on benefits. Got one child aged 2. Shes pregnant again.
            Of course, new child means the DSS ain't gonna hassle her to get a job now as child 1 gets older, and of course, bigger flat potentially. Does my chunk in.

                It's not hard to avoid getting pregnant. Willful carelessness is no different than deliberate.

                  Yes it is, that's why they're not the same words.

                    Depends if they use Salt & Vinegar crisp packets for 'protection', it would be quite easy
                    Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

                    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.
